Description

The vice president is said to be just a heartbeat away from Commander-in-Chief. But what does the VEEP actually do? How significant a role does the vice president play in the White House... and with the president? And what kind of effect can a running mate have on a presidential election? To find out, we talked to one of the foremost experts on the Vice Presidency, St. Louis University law professor Joel Goldstein.

DC’s “Light Touch” on AI, Gen Z’s Good Vibes, and Autoworkers’ Bitter Battle of Words 9/14/23: Tech CEOs traveled to Washington, D.C. for a one-of-a-kind closed-door meeting with Senators on the rising regulatory implications of artificial intelligence. One of the lawmakers who organized the session, Sen. Todd Young (R-IN), argues that there is an “appropriate” role for government in determining the future of AI. The death of hope for Generation Z is greatly exaggerated, says NYU Stern School of Business Professor Suzy Welch, breaking out new data from Gallup. She asserts that the young Americans entering the workforce, or about to, are more optimistic than the olds think. Plus, what the looming auto worker strike tells us about the economy and how working Americans feel. The Delta Sky Club just got harder to get past the gatekeeper, and Arby’s has the meats!

Is Gridlock Causing Polarization?: We often say on this podcast that the American electorate is not polarized but the elites are, and that this polarization causes policy gridlock. But what if it’s the other way around? Is it possible that gridlock in government is actually causing polarization and a turn toward extremist candidates? That’s the assertion of a paper called “From Gridlock to Polarization” by Barton Lee, the Chair of Political Economy and eDemocracy at ETH Zurich. Lee uses a large-scale online experiment to show how voters become more willing to vote for extremist candidates. It leads to some fascinating implications for how we should think about the consequences of ineffective government. by Not Another Politics Podcast

‘The Democrats’ Hydra’ Is the Rosetta Stone for Impeachment | Guests: Rep. Chris Stewart & Bill O’Reilly | 11/14/19: "The Democrats’ Hydra" is out and the hate mail is in! But all the FACTS are documented! It’s the Rosetta stone for impeachment and revolutions around the world. Rep. Chris Stewart gives a firsthand look at yesterday’s impeachment hearings, the Democrats’ strategy, and where it’s all heading. Bill O’Reilly has one word to describe the hearings: “Fiasco.” Glenn and Bill debate Trump’s meeting with Turkish president Erdogan, Pete Buttigieg’s rise in the polls, and suing gunmakers. Pat Gray gives his takeaways from “The Democrats’ Hydra” – the atrocities of Woodrow Wilson, George Soros, and the State Department. Glenn and Stu talk Kanye West, Joel Osteen, and how easily conservatives fall for celebrities who say anything flattering. by The Glenn Beck Program
